CAUTION:
Subjecting the connector to the repetitive motion will cause damage to the
connector. Restrain the cable close to the connector so that the repetitive motion of the
robot does not interfere with the cable connector.
For added stability, zip ties can be used to secure the cable to a mounting bracket (refer to the following
figure). The zip ties should never contact the cable jacket.
Figure 3.3—Use Zip Ties on the Connector
(2) Zip ties stabilize and secure
the connector. The zip tie does
not contact the cable.
CAUTION:
Improper cable routing may cause injury to personnel, poor functionality
of critical electrical lines, or damage to the equipment. The electrical line, especially
where attached to the senor’s connector, must be routed to avoid stress failure, sharp
bends, or a disconnection from the equipment. Damage to the sensor or cable from
improper routing will void the warranty.
Route the sensor cable so that it is not stressed, pulled, kinked, cut, or otherwise damaged throughout the
full range of motion.
Affix the cable by using hook and loop straps or Velcro
®
straps; do not use cable
ties or zip ties.
Figure 3.4—Use Hook and Loop or Velcro
®
Straps on the Cable
Allow enough slack in
the cable to allow full range
of motion for the robot arm.
Use hook and loop or Velcro
®
straps to restrain
the cable around the robot arm.
